Funeral for Del Oro football player scheduled Saturday

The mother of the Del Oro football player who died in a car accident last week said Wednesday she was grateful for the support from the community.

Fatima Galindo’s son, Ronny Andrews, 18, died Jan. 16 when his car lost control and struck a tree while traveling north on Park Drive near Villa Serena Circle in Rocklin. Andrews was pronounced dead at the scene, while a friend suffered minor injuries.

“The reaction of the community has been a little bit overwhelming, but in a good way,” said Galindo, adding that the public raised more than $12,000 for the teenager’s funeral.

The family will hold a public viewing for Andrews on Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Heritage Oaks Memorial Chapel, 6920 Destiny Drive, Rocklin. A funeral service is at 1 p.m. Saturday at Destiny Christian Church, 6900 Destiny Drive, Rocklin.
